ABSTRACT
Recent brain research has uncovered a myriad of functions for astrocytes, showing that these cellular multiplicities are critical to the regulation of the brain’s daily and hourly rhythms and blood ow. is chapter briey enumerates astrocytic processes and posits that well-functioning astroglia are essential to mental health, and that damaged astrocytes produce dysfunctions in brain regulation. It goes on to explain that these cells exhibit vital uctuations that lie in the infralow-frequency (ILF) range, and it is reasonable to propose that ILF neurofeedback engages mechanisms managed by our astrocytic networks.
